Trauma informed approach
​There’s no one-size-fits-all way to support trauma as what works for one person might not be right for someone else. That’s why I take a personalised approach, working with you to understand your unique needs and helping you reconnect with your body in a safe, supportive, trauma-informed way.
A lot of people tend to think of trauma as something major or physical, like assault, abuse, or accidents, but trauma is much broader than that. It can be any experience that deeply impacts you, and it’s not always something visible.
Trauma can come from childhood experiences, such as neglect or emotional hardship, or from being bullied or facing discrimination. It can also stem from difficult pregnancies or challenging births, or even from generational and ancestral wounds passed down through families. Psychological trauma, like experiencing loss, abandonment, or betrayal, is just as significant. All of these experiences, no matter how they show up, are important to recognise and heal. Each form of trauma deserves attention and care because it all impacts your mind, body, and overall well-being, that’s why every one of my sessions is designed with trauma in mind, creating a welcoming space for people from all walks of life.
It's also important to remember that trauma doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. Just because you may seem "fine" on the outside, it doesn’t mean you're not carrying something heavy. Your experience matters, and I’m here to support you on your journey.

Yoga for Trauma
​
When we experience trauma, whether it’s emotional, mental, or physical, it’s not just the mind that’s affected. Trauma often finds its way into the body too, lingering in ways we might not even realise, often leading to ill health.
That’s where yoga for trauma comes in. Through gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, I guide individuals who are dealing with complex trauma or PTSD to help release tension, manage stress, and find a sense of calm. Unlike a typical yoga class, these sessions are designed to be soothing and accessible, focusing on what your body needs in the moment.
Every session is completely tailored to you, taking into account your unique experiences and healing process. It's all about offering the space and support you need to reconnect with your body in a safe and gentle way.
Trauma informed yoga
​
Trauma-informed yoga is all about creating a safe space where your experiences are truly respected. It recognises that trauma can show up in many ways during practice, and it aims to avoid triggering or overwhelming you.
The focus is on creating a supportive environment where you feel empowered to make choices about your practice—whether that’s how you move, what you focus on, or when to take a break. It also means being mindful of the language used and steering clear of physical adjustments that could be uncomfortable.
The goal is to help you heal and feel empowered, with every session approached with sensitivity and awareness. It’s about honouring your journey and helping you reconnect with your body in a way that feels safe and supportive
